2018 Jadot Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots

James Suckling

In stock

A top choice among Burgundy Premier Cru reds. The Les Boudots vineyard lies at the border with Vosne-Romanee, on a prized east-facing slop within reach of hallowed Grand Crus such as Romanee-Conti and Clos Vougeot. As such this wine delivers enormous depth and dramatic power, with red and black fruits forming around complex expressions of minerals, violet and earthy licorice notes. With time in cellar, this will be one of the better value dust-offs you could get for the price.

$200.00 in mixed 6+ or $220.00 per bottle

Its Origins

In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.

What The Critics Say

93/100 James Suckling

"Lovely red that’s perfumed with roses, lavender, spices and fresh strawberries. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and fine tannins. Give it a year or two to open. Drink or hold."

91-93/100 Vinous, Neal Martin

"The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet of perfumed red berry fruit mixed with rose petals. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Well balanced, with a judicious dash of white pepper and clove toward the finish. A lovely Boudots." Drink 2023 - 2045

90-93/100 Burghound, Allen Meadows

"A similar but even spicier nose gives way to velvety, caressing and denser medium-bodied flavors that possess both good size and weight, all wrapped in an impressively long and much better-balanced finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my predicted range, but the underlying material appears to be present for that to eventually occur."
